This is what I'm curious about really. I'd like to program the chiller to dynamically change the setpoint on fermentor setpoint. I heard some people doing what your doing here but didn't know if there was an issue with the glycol getting gross.

Awesome, thanks gents! Cheers!!

I'm curious if there are any downsides to keeping glycol temps in higher than normal ranges like 55°F. I am thinking about this for a few reasons but one of them is when I am not fermenting beer there isn't really a need to have the temps down at 28 °F. My concern is if higher temps would assist...

Well to my surprise!

Agreed. Really just creating a bigger itch to grow hops in my backyard!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but didn't even have the realization of possible males. It will be fun no matter wha though I think.

Has anyone seen something like this before? I got this for Christmas. I'm thinking these instructions are copy and paste from their other product that are rosemary or lavender etc. I don't have high expectations from something like this with hop seeds but will still be cool I think as long as it...

I just posted the same type question on the Spike facebook group. Seems a lot of people are doing about the same method described by PINbeer. I do things a little different because I bought a giant utility sink for the purpose of fitting my 20 gal solo in. When I'm finished I pull off the tube...

Thanks! Yeah I have cleaned it with bar keepers friend a couple times. The mill is still in the garage and I take a look at in every time I go in there and it is currently ok. It is winter however and the humidity is low so who knows what's what.

Yeah humidity in NC is like 70 - 80% in the summer so i can't throw out the humidity card but no other homebrewer in NC seems to be having this problem.

When I called more beer the told me to clean it with barkeepers friend which I did and after it was discolored which I thought was strange. Has anyone else experienced this?

I don't believe my garage is anymore humid than any other brewer in North Carolina which is why I'm suspicious. I don't have mold or mildew or anything like that. I have a low quality stainless steel sink that doesn't rust. Anything else that could rust in my garage doesn't rust.

Thanks for the response! I am not milling wet grain. This thing had actually formed rust before I ever used it. I unboxed it and had it half put together. A couple weeks later I went to finish so I could use it and it had rust. I cleaned it, used it, put it on the shelf and two weeks later when...

That's for the response guys. I will try an upload a better photo. These spots are orange / red and flakey like what you would see with oxidation of metal. I do not have any grain storage and there is no other evidence of rodents.

So I don't knownwhat the deal is because apparently no one else has this problem but my mill just wants to rust. I bought it on sale from more beer and was pumped, first mill ever. It sat brand new in my garage for a month before I could use it, rusted... got it cleaned up and after it still had...

We've been making cold brew for a few years and have always done it warm and 95% of the time for 24 hours or longer. For a while we had a 1 gallon kit from Amazon, I would leave the grinds in on the counter till it was gone. This would usually only be about 6 days but towards the end it was...

Are you using a regular faucet or a stout faucet?

I'm doing this now actually and I realized that I may carb my coffee even at 5 psi? Not sure trying to find an answer as well. Af far as coffee and water you can use any coffee you like. If you grind whole beans keep it course other you can use pre ground. For amounts we do around 4 cups coffee...

I am in the market for a mill and this one caught my eye. I like the thought process of the diamond roller function but the way you have to ghetto a hopper together bothers me and all in all it seems like a work in progress from the manufacture. People who own this do you recommend it or is a...

I went ahead and bought the the sink I linked previous. Honestly for the money it seems fine to me. It was shipped quickly but poorly and came with a broken weld where the backboard attaches to the basin. There is also a crack in the same top corner which is a concern because it could crack all...
